Summary: | [...]in a number of countries, a key factor influencing the recognition of SEM as a stand-alone medical specialty was the impact of SEM on disease management, quality of life and healthcare costs.3 SEM education: heterogeneous journeys to the grail Following the pioneer countries of Australia, New Zealand and the UK, several countries introduced a stand-alone SEM specialty for physicians (Argentina, Brazil, Latvia, Portugal, the Netherlands, Turkey, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Singapore). [...]young physicians desiring to pursue a career in SEM must combine full clinical training in another specialty before additional training in SEM. Unfortunately, sport physiotherapy is not a protected title in every country, often due to a lack of recognition by local health or sport authorities. [...]a sport physiotherapy title may not increase professional responsibility or earnings. [...]SEM should be more visible in the health-based undergraduate curricula.8 9 This exposure would contribute to raising awareness and unveiling vocation among students. |
